Oral Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) For Adults
What is Oral Myofunctional Therapy (OMT)?
OMT is a non-invasive, therapeutic discipline that addresses dysfunction in the muscles of the face, tongue, mouth, and throat. It's a form of orofacial orthopedics. Orofacial function encompasses breathing, chewing, swallowing, and speaking. When these functions are too effortful, off target, and/or maladapted, they can be factors in other health problems - such as, sleep apnea, oral facial malformation and TMJ/TMD problems.

You might be a candidate for OMT if you experience:
- Jaw pain, clicking, or tension from TMJ disorders.
- Changes in how your teeth align or fit (dental or orthodontic problems).
- Sleep apnea or snoring caused by improper tongue posture.
